Thierry Henry names PSG’s greatest ever player

Thierry Henry, the former Arsenal captain, recently lauded Kylian Mbappe as the most outstanding player in the history of Paris Saint-Germain. Despite his usual influential presence, Mbappe couldn’t guide PSG to victory as they were eliminated by Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals on Tuesday. The Ligue 1 champions faced a 2-0 aggregate defeat, failing to score in either leg of the tie.

Mbappe’s performance in the Champions League has sparked speculation regarding his future with the club. There are widespread rumors suggesting that the talented forward, who is a Paris native, might be headed to Real Madrid in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Henry’s endorsement of Mbappe’s significance in PSG’s history underscores the French forward’s impact on the team. Mbappe’s combination of speed, skill, and goal-scoring ability has made him a standout performer, not just for PSG, but also for the French national team on the international stage.

As PSG contemplates their next steps following their exit from the Champions League, Mbappe’s potential departure looms large, leaving fans and experts alike intrigued about the next phase of his career and its implications for both PSG and Real Madrid.

But Henry said on CBS Sports: “Kylian Mbappe, we all know he is leaving. He was magnificent for PSG.

“You [Mbappe] can leave this club with your head held really high.

“It’s not everyone that can win everywhere, especially the Champions League. But the big man played really well all his career for PSG so I am not going to judge him personally on not winning the Champions League.”

When asked if he considers Mbappe to be PSG’s greatest ever player, Henry added: “It’s not even a discussion. The impact he had all over the world, what he has been doing; for me, yes. He will go down as the best player for PSG.”
